Once supporting evidence has been shown they will be removed from this blog. Moreover, if they redact their original statements they will also be removed from this blog.

Quote ~ “Research on retired athletes has shown one of the most frequent experiences is a sense of emotional loss associated with separation from significant others, such as coaches and teammates. That, coupled with a possible reduction in exercise, can also add to increased depression levels – regular exercise is known to release feelgood chemicals such as neurotransmitters and endorphins which help reduce depression and anxiety. At the same time, stress in itself produces hormones which can lead to chemical imbalances with too little serotonin in the brain.”

Quote ~ “Neither is it a sin for you to seek treatment for a chemical imbalance in your brain. The Bible says that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14)–and it’s true: Our bodies and minds are very complex. Although doctors can’t solve all our problems, we should be grateful that God has enabled them to understand more about our bodies and minds, and has given them new ways to overcome many of our problems. Don’t feel that you are somehow sinning by seeking treatment for your depression; it would be wrong for you not to seek treatment.”

Quote ~ “In order for you to feel well emotionally it is important that your brain chemistry is in balance. The neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, GABA, and dopamine, are the brain’s chemical messengers which are primarily responsible for your mental health and well-being. When these important brain chemicals are out of balance, depression, and many other symptoms, can result. One of the best places to begin when dealing with chemical imbalance in the brain and depression is to understand the tandem role of estrogen and serotonin. A natural brain booster and anti-depressant, estrogen plays an enormous role in the production of and maintenance of serotonin in our brain.”

Quote ~ “Schizophrenia is caused by an imbalance in the chemicals that send signals to the brain, leading to the perception (seeing/hearing/thinking) of things that are not real. The factors that create this imbalance are not fully understood.”
